Question

Bob goes to the arcade. It cost $2 for a pop and $0.75 per game.If he only has 10 dollars with him, what it the maximum amount of games he can play if he buys a pop?

Answer 1

If we write an algebraic expression, we need to look back at the problem. The problem says that he only buys ONE pop. That is equal to $2. So that can be involved in your equation. Next, it asks how many games he can play if each game costs $0.75, and your end total being $10 . So what would your equation look like?

Answer 2

Your equation would look like:
$2 + $0.75x = $10

because he's paying $2 for a bottle of pop, and then 75 cents for every game he plays. Now you just have to solve! (: Tell me what you get and I'll tell you f it's right.
